Professional and involved – Link.

I started screening band tshirts over the summer and have had some awesome results. I learned how to use photo emulsion from this tutorial. Check it out.
Those are some extreme examples there with the messy DIY and four-color poster printing. I’d suggest starting off with a regular silk-screen method and using one color. Just pick up a Speedball kit and off you go.
squareworm,
The link you provided didn’t work, could you tr again? I’d like to see the tutorial.
Here’s a good one for ya.
I am thinking about doing this with my moleskin. Did your editor use the cheap method to do this?
This is fun! I haven’t done silk-screning since the 9th grade (20 years ago! Yikes!) I am going to run out and pick up some equipment to do the quick and dirty method tomorrow.
